NOT THE WAY TO WALK.

The walking delegate is not as omnipotent as he was. He is more or less rapidly fnd~ ing out that he cannot ignore the law, and that he and his supporters cannot boycott the courts. Walking Delegate Farrell ap- peared in New York court the other day. He had on good clothes, his hair was nicely dressed, and his general appearance indi- cated that he made a good living easily. Robert Hof appeared against him. Hoff is a carpenter who got into difficulty with the union. He was fined S10, which he refused to pay. The union ordered that he be sus pended and that nobody should work with him in any place. He was employed by a builder and did his work well. Farrell went to Hoff's employer and told him that he must discharge Hon. The employer re- fused to do this, and was then told that his other men would be taken off. Hof then left his work and cited the walking delegate before Judge German.
 The walking delegate brought a lawyer into court, who argued ingeniously that his client had done what was perfectly proper and ought to be supported in it. But Judge German made short work of the lawyer and his client, saying, among other things: This society and this man had difference In s sense they expelled him. There the relations between the body and the man ended. Their power over him was gone. He had perfect right to work wherever he could and for him who would give him work. For reasons of their own, men of the union may refuse to associate with him in work after he has sev- cred his connection with the union. They may take up their tools and leave him alone. That is their own concern. But you must understand that you have no right to inter fere with him. You walking delegates must not prevent this man from working where he get an employer, where he has one and where he pleases to toil. It is against the laws of this State for you to prevent or at tempt to prevent any man from earniug his own living peaceably in this State. It is in- timidation for walking delegate to go to an employer and threaten to deprive him of hired laborers unless he will discharge par ticular workman. When you do that you go outside your field. You are minding somebody elses business.
 This is undoubtedly good law. Of course the walking delegate was not satisfied with it, and he appealed. But it is not probable that his appeal will do him any good.

TALK E ES.
Why the World in General Disltkes
 Them So Much.

Why the World in General DislIkes
 Them So Much.
 From the London World.
 The worst offense any one can commit is to be bore, as assuredly there is no bore who can compete successfully with your professional talker, says the London World. Even genius like Nacaulay be- comes intolerable after 8 time, when the s'brilliant flashes Of silencen few and far between. What, then, must be the feelings of company listening to medio- criJy harping an interminable refrain on two or three hackneyed strings. Sidney Smith suggested that Macauley's fate in the unseen should be that of 8 party to a dis pute perpetually waged, with gag in his mouth. Horace has not left us in doubt as to the existence of bores in the days of imperial Rome It is curious that some such fate did not find expression among appropriate punishments of VirgiFs shades. The regulation which prescribes 8 muzzle for stray dogs might with advantage be ex- tended to those human disturbers of the pub- lie peace.
 It is curious that there should be this general aversion to unlimited speech. It surely has some advantages. Rightly re- garded, it saves an infinitude of trouble to those wha are relieved of the necessity of .making conversation" There are no doubt differences of opinion in individual cases. The truth is, women will generally forgive a man who talks 8 trifie too much-prov- ided he is neither brother nor husband, when the fault is, of course, unpardonable; and, likewise, naturally silent man rather appreciates talkatiye woman-until she becomes his wife. But men hate a man talker, and, still more bitterly, women a woman-talker; and the greater the ability of the monologue the deeper the conse- qusnt aversion. Uncharitable people-by whom the world is too largely peopled- ascribe this feeling to jealousy. The fact is no doubt capable of other interpreta- tions. However this may be, very slight study of human nature will convince the most skeptical that any one who makes popularity in the slightest degree an ob- ject of his life must first learn to hold his tongue. It is difficult to overestimate in society the virtue of appreciative silence. If you are silent, you make good listener, and become ipso facto, the confdant of every one wins has a story to tell-and who has nots You also stand the very best chance of a reputation for depth and in formation founded on the very natural supposition that we'll which is constantly receiving and never giving off must be get ting uncommonly full. Above all, you can never commit the unpardonable sin of being a bore. If you are wise, people will think you wiser than you are. If you happen to be a fool, you can at least escape de- tection.

mare and the children have lived there under constant police protection. 'Yet Lord Ken mare," said the tenant, "is far from being q bad landlord. His tenants number 800, and there are not three evictions year on the estate. I myself know twenty of his tenants who owe him four years' rent and are not molested. Bat he has taken his stand against the League and that is enough. Be- sides, in the eyes of the tenants, the best landlord is good for nothing. They want the land and they will have it."
 Johns Hopkins university at Baltimore owns as part of it's endowment seventeen thousand shares of the capital stock of the Baltimore 6 Ohio railroad. This stock has paid eight per cent. dividends, aud has been regarded up to within a short time perfect ly safe investment. It has brought into the treasury of the college $156,000 annually, which sum has formed no inconsiderable part of the splendid income that has enabled the university to maintain it's proud position as ono of the most famous educational insti- tutions in this country. This income is now likely to be cu' off. The financial cmbar- rassment of the road, which resulted in the change of management, will be likely to cut down materially if not altogether stop the payment of stock dividends until the enor- nous floating debt is taken care of.

From the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic

 Wherein lies the intense fascination which attaches to pigeon-hYing we have, we must confess, always been st 8 loss to compre bend. To very great entent chance plays an all-important part in every competition; for even supposing 8 bird to have done an exceptionally quick journey, no amount of training in the world can induce him, with any degree of certainty, subsequently to alight and allow himself to be caught at the earliest possible moment; and al though, for the most part, birds of a long journey are only too anxious to reach

the haven they have been steering for, It will sometimes happen that bird on nearing home will relax his efforts, or, at any rate, not descend as speedily as could be desired, and at such times his owners feelings can better be imagined than described Then, again, there is always the chance of a val uable ''homer" being mistaken for an ordinary ''stray," and being shot by some indiscrimfnate sportsman In fact, from the time that notification is received of their having been "tossed" until they are safe in their respective lofts, the fancier has an extremely anxious time oft. With shorts journey matches his fears and misgivings are soon set at rest but with long races the case IS vastly different. We are not in position to state definitely the greatest distance which has been flown as 8 race or otherwise, but an average distance of somewhere about 150 miles would appear to obtain most favor in tn eyes of London flyers, and as is we'll known, Exeter to Lon don is very popular conrse. During the present year, to our own knowledge, & win ming bird in a race between the two places, was tossed at Exeter at GAO a. m., and was safely in his London home st 1920 a. m., distance 153 miles, which would give aa average rate of speed of about forty four miles an hour. Possibly this is by no means the best on record, but we are, we believe, correct in saying that it is at any rate very creditable performance. We have mentioned < minutes oU seconds as exceptionally good for three mile course, and the average time for this is, we believe, about minutes 30 seconds. Whether pigeons will ever be employed to any appreciable extent Tn con- nection with cur army, q system which Is largely in vogue on the continent, notably Germany, remains to be seen, but should the idea ever "take on," as the saying is, the authorities will have no difficulty in obtaining almost any number of squeak CTS without going outside the metropolitan area.

It is conceded as a curious effect of the electric light that in several of the public buildings in Washington its use has led to an enormous increase in the number of spi- ders' webs. The lights attract multitudes of insects, and the insects in turn attract the spiders. It is complained that in many cases architectural outlines have become badly obseured.

The Albany Journal says that new use for apples has been discovered. A prominent apple grower of Rensselaer, county has for several years been running a large eyapo- rator on what are known as "cider apples. |" These machines slice the apples, skin, core and all, very thin. These thin slices are then bleached white by the use of sulphur fumes. When thoroughly dry the apples are put into sugar barrrls and packed as tight as they can be pressed, 80 that single barrel will hold 200 pounds, or 20 bushels of apples. These are then shipped to Germany. where they are ground up for the manufac ture of what is known as cider, and it is generally understood that much of it enters into the composition of champagne, Rhine and other wines.

The report of the commission of experts employed by the insurance companies, and who made thorough investigation, shows that 6,956 buildings were damaged by the Charleston earthquake. The relief commit tee distributed about $640, 1000, which re- paired, in whole or in part, some 2,20O buildings. This leaves 4,756 buildings that were repaired by the owners at their own expense.

growers in Southern California and
his address is well worthy of perusal.
He condenses into few columns
more good, sound, practical informa-
ton than many five hundred page

saw fruit except at a fruit stand can
read this excellent article and by fol-
lowing its plain lucid instructions
engage in the business of fruit raising
with reasonable hopes of success.
Such practical men as Mr.. Thomas

l.. HAYMAN. the theatrical man.

AL. HAYMAN, the theatrical man.
ager, is on trip East and has taken
in the races,-rather, to speak exactly,
the races have taken in Al. He had
inside tips on the winning horses in
Chicago--dead-sure things-and started
in to make money just like finding it.
He put up $500 on his dead-sure, and
was panied to discover that his horse
had been left at the post. Then he
went further East and Jared the same.
Friends of his gave the wink on two
certain winners, and he placed sew
eral hundred on the flyers that had
been put up to win. He got more ex-
perience. He then found soft snap
at the Monmouth meeting, and was let
on the inside of another dead-sure
thing. He tried it, and fell to the
tune of small bag full of double
eagles. With this the scales dropped
from his eyes. He smelt a rodent,
and when waited upon by
a committee of turfmen who were
wise about the outcome of the Subur-
ban, he told them that he had won all
the money he wanted to win ON dead
sure pointers. The experience of Mr..
Hayman points a moral that will make
it useful to others. We have no
doubt that some of these races are run
on honest principles. But as a general
thing, even without tips from the
knowing ones, man has to do too
much guessing to beat the game. In
the first place, one has to guess the
horse. Good. Then one has to guess
on the honesty of the jockeys. Good.
Having got right on both of these, one
has also often to guess on the judges
for it frequently happens that the win
ming horse don't win because of some
hair-splitting ruling of the judges.
Therefore, the best way to win on
horse races is not to bet.

discovery of his in destroying the or
ange scale. The experiment was
made upon trees in the orchard Of Mr..
A. B. Chapman at San Gabriel. 1t
did not work satisfactorily on the first
trial. Professor Morse returned to the
university, and after further study con-
cluded that he would try his method
again. He is now making additional
experiments ON Mr.. Chapman's place,
and this time he seems to have
mastered the difficulties he before
encountered. His destructant consists
Of deadly gas produced from com
bination of chemicals. 1t is applied
in this way: The tree to be treated
is closely enveloped in large tent.
The gas is generated inside, and when
the leaves are thoroughly saturated, it
is found that the scales have all been
killed. The only doubt about the COM
plete success of the method is as to
whether the eggs are also destroyed.
In some instances they seem to be.
But even if they are not, an import
ant point has been achieved, and it
would seem that the ultimate
object of eradicating the scale
could be compassed by repeating the
fumigation as soon as the eggs had
developed into life, and before they
had had time to deposit a new crop.
Mr.. Chapman is greatly impressed
with the effective value of this method
of eradication, and believes that it
will prove successful. 1t is far prefer
able to the washing and emulsion of
the trees with whale oil soap and
kindred applications. 1t is cleanly
work compared with the latter, which
is laborious, irksome and disgusting.
He thinks that the cost per tree will
not exceed fifty cents, and if the main
object of killing the scale is reached
by one fumigation at that cost, it
will prove in the end much cheaper
than the washing method. The
Professor is still experimenting, and
he thinks he may make further i'm
provements in his process that will
leave no doubt about the extirpation
of the insect and its eggs in one appli-
cation of the gas. If he should sue
ceed, he will confer eae of the great
est boons upon this section that could
come to it. From the persistent and
iinveteerate manner in which the scale |
has resisted ali processes hereto /!
fore tried, and the continued spread
of the pest, it had become a question
whether the orange industry could
continue to thrive against SO fearful |
an enemy. We shall watch for the |
result of Professor Morse's expert
ments with the deepest interest. !

THE demonstration made in Paris
Saturday, on the departure of General
Boulanger for Clermont, to take COM
mand of the Thirteenth Army Corps,
augurs i'll for the quiet of that city ON
the 18th, when the taking of the Bas-
tile will be celebrated. 1t shows
that there is vast mass of turbulent
spirits in Paris, who will seize upon
any opportunity to raise a patriotic"
riot. Boulanger represents the con
to-Berlin". element in France, and
that element is particularly demon
strative just now. The conduct of
that element at the Lyons railroad
station in Paris on Saturday was ON
inous. They assembled there in
great crowds at the time that
Boulanger and his staff were
to depart. They took entire pos
session of the depot; they surrounded
the train; they blockaded the road !;
they filled the air with cries of "Down
with Grevy;" they denounced the
Government and apotheosized the
departing general; they held the train
for four hours after the time it should
have started; and they made all sorts
of revolutionary demonstrations short
of actual outbreak. President Grevy
and his administration will have to
act with great coolness and prompt
judgment to prevent serious culmin-
alton of the turbulent spirit Of the anti
German element of the capital during
the celebration of the fall Of the Bas-
tile ON the 14th instant.
